BONUS CONTENT: Sketchbook: Kaagan-Vas Tattoo
This page shows the various concepts I did to come up with the Kaagan-Vas tattoo. I pretty much covered the thought process back on The Big Snow Job #3, Page 9. Basically, I wanted something that would be easy to draw, fairly aggressive and tribal looking, and something evocative of a pirate ship Jolly Roger skull and crossbones. I have to say I’m very happy with the design I came up with, and if anyone out there is in the market for a nice back-of-the-head tattoo, I’d highly recommend going with a Kaagan-Vas mark. 🙂
Awesome! I’m so going to integrate those in my Star Wars Saga Edition campaign. I have no idea how at the moment, but I’m totally going to work them into it somehow.
Pretty much all the cool things in the games I run are stolen I mean borrowed from awesome people. \:)
The final one and the middle one in the second row I think are the two strongest designs because (and you can walk away from your monitor and view it from a distance and at an angle) they tend to remain clear and easily made out at a variety of scales and angles without being just a smudgy thing.
Yeah, I’m really happy with these designs. I really wish I had done something similar with Sky’s neck tattoo in restrospect. These are really easy to draw; circular shapes, not so much. Ugh. Maybe she’ll get hers lasered off and re-done. 🙂
I can see her flinching, going metallic, and reflecting the laser off into the room for the sake of hilarity.
